OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A fire that ripped through a home in Oklahoma City before dawn Wednesday killed a woman and her four children, fire and police officials said.

Firefighters who arrived about 6:30 a.m. found the bodies of Jeanine Bonnet, 28, and her children inside the two-story, wood-frame home, Fire Department Maj. Tammy McKinney said. They found a man, Brian Poletto, 39, outside the burning house. He remained in critical condition at a local hospital later Wednesday with second- and third-degree burns to his back and arms, McKinney said.

"When we got on scene, we had reports that there were children inside," McKinney said. "The fire was so intense that we could not make entry and had to knock the fire down before we could make entry. That's when we found the bodies."
